Below this are color drawings depicting three Native Americans with their names, life-dates, and a brief biography. The drawings are of Red Jacket, Arthur Parker, and Tecumseh. There are also four drawings depicting objects from different tribes. They are a Seneca "Spirit Mask", an Algonquin "Wigwam", a Woodland dancing choop, and a Cahokia mound.
